Windows 7: Internet not working

I can connect to the internet via an ethernet cable but when trying to connect to my wireless network through Wi-Fi it doesn't work. I can't see any other wireless networks so it's not an issue with my router.

Any ideas why it won't work?

Edit: I think it may be down to the wireless drivers.

I have found this website but I'm unsure from that list which driver to install.

Try using Windows Update to check for some updates on most drivers and programs. Usually there are tons of updates for several different drivers.

You could try the Atheros driver for Windows 7 x64 here and post back with any results you get. If that doesn't work, then just uninstall the driver by going to Start -> (right click on Computer, select "Manage"). Then direct to "Device Manager". Search for your Network Adapters, and "Uninstall" your Wireless driver. Use an Ethernet connection to try and "Scan for hardware changes" and run another Windows Update task from Control Panel.

I did what you said but Windows can't find any updates for my driver and checking for updates via control panel came up with no success. I now have no wireless driver

I don't know which one it is to install it again

Any ideas?

So what I am saying is when I go to control panel - network and connections etc... It used to say Wireless Network Connection and I could enable/disable it.

The Wireless Network Connection does not show as I assume it is down to a lack of a wireless driver. I'm finding it hard to find a wireless driver for the above. I keep seeing LAN driver w/e that is.

Please post an update.

The link you have given is for a different laptop and also the problem is I can't activate the Wi-Fi switch. I need to press FN + F8 but the function key combinations don't work at all.

Go into your device manger and see if anything appears for your wireless.
